II really LOOKS IS if several of our con-

luxury or a necessity?
There il quite p confusion of words and
terms. It il generally conceded that lux
uries ought 70 be taxed, but what are
Iuxuries? And this is Just the point in
Sharpening down which our aforementioned
contemporaries are wearing away their
intellects. \ luxury may be roughly de
scrjb-5 % something that the rich think
they need Iog their comfort.
o .cc clasl regard the use Of tobacco as a
vice: another describes the weed a a lux
ury, and the poor people who are willing

necessity. Who shalt decide which Is
Iigh,? The luxurious 10 this country I'M
port theIr tahaccJs and pay duties on
them; the poor man buys his tobacco here,
aud though he pays a tax on it it is not q
lnxury. The tobacco tax falls chiefly on
the poor, and the money they pay to the
Government il good money. The tax Is
an unnecessary tax AMI the money it takes
ont Of the pockets Of the poor is just as
good money as II it came out OF the Pock-
eta Of the rich and IS more needed by the
t~aXpayers.
